"those hot texas funerals"
|
april 12th
THE "MIGRA" came and snatched a loud person today.
You SHOULD know that the latest WAVE in prickly annoyance is to go around
falsely telling people theyre up on the visiting list.
We went outside again for "REC" tonight for only the 2nd time.I can't
tell you how it furthers the concept that this will end.
Last night I spoke to Micki McDonald, an artist in Denver I've known
since high school. We came upon the "what would you like for dinner when
you get out" theme.But I'm still too roasting in this retort to envision
an answer. She said she'd found an old "talk tape" I sent her from San
Antonio circa 1985.Relates that I have a corpse's hand turn off the tape
recorder.Vague memories. Oh,those hot Texas funerals. Two wives showing
up at gravesite,senorita's fainting,etc.I used to go to the library on
weekends and look through the children's books in Spanish to see how I
was coming along learning the language that was all and sundry around.
Roosters crowing on dirt roads,cows(mad or otherwise,indifferent even)
blocking the highway.One time I took a casketed corpse up to...was it Bandera...so
foggy now...and I had to stay there through the evening rosary only so
I could slam the casket lid and be someone from the funeral home to put
an END to the night. (Came back to that church the next day with a crew
for the funeral). But,during the rosary service I had nothing to do but
wander outside the church,past the graveyard,and deep into a field.I just
had to go and touch a cactus.The air was filled with bats. I just wanted
to get home and get out of my cheap suit.
Can't ONE of you netnutz get info on riding les rails?
I know there's a corner in Montreal called Deluth and Drolet. I have
no idea why.
I'm NOT gonna learn French in this static way. AmI? Might as well have
someone (Micki?) meet me outside the jail with a cheese grater I could
grit my teeth and then GRIND my face to horror.To avoid the word "useless"
we could film it...if you want.
Last night BECKY,les deputy, came door to door looking at "faces and
knuckles".It became like a sales chant, "faces and knuckles". Apparently
some blood was found in the shower.
I noticed over the weekend that "Perfect" is now #8 on NY Times chart...and
is NOT in the top ten LOCALLY anymore.Entertainment Weekly in the 2nd week
of March said it had enjoyed it's third printing at 177,ooo copies at THAT
point. But deputy Linda Rogers says it's $18.00 at King Soopers,the largest
local GROCERY chain.Other books RIGHT near the mention of Perfect had titles
like "Reaching To Heaven" and "Ashes to Ashes". Onwards.
